98 Camry wiper switch/motor problem by
[email protected]
The wiper switch's intermittent mode does not work. It now only works
with 2 speeds - fast and faster. Annoying in light rain.
My mechanic says he may need to replace either the wiper switch or
motor (cost is $164 and 210 for part alone)
Another option is to get a second-hand part from a...

here in Red Sox Nation I've been noticing an annoying film on the inside
of the windshield.

VERY Cold Weather by
[email protected]
Hey, I'm going to be attending college in Fairbanks, Alaska next year,
and I just bought a truck that should handle pretty well in snowy
conditions. For those interested, it is a used 2000 GMC Sierra Ext. Cab
K1500 4x4 with a little over 70,000 miles. It's also my first vehicle,
and since I'll...

Brown Transmission Fluid Question by
Tommy Taylor
My Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 4 Cylinder has 54K. I've noticed no performance
or transmission problems. When I checked the transmission fluid it was brown
with no burned smell. Without doing the pan, I drained it and refilled. I
drove it 20 minutes and rechecked it. It was still somewhat brown, so...

Forcing an *up*shift in an automatic--mpgs by
Proctologically Violated©®
Awl--
Most auto trannies readily allow you to downshift--ie, the gear will go no
higher than indicated. No problem.
First Q: How is a forced downshift accomplished, from both mechanical and
'pyooter povs?
Q 2.: Wouldn't forcing a upshift--ie, the gear will go *no lower* than
indicated--be...

Make it harder to press gas pedal by
[email protected]
To solve the problem that a beginner may accidentally press the gas pedal when he means to step on the brake, I think one easy way is to replace the spring holding the gas pedal with one with a higher force constant. Once he's driven the car for some months, change it back. This won't prevent the...

Question about Brakes / Master Cylinder by
[email protected]
96 Chevrolet C1500 PU 2 wheel drive power brakes, front disc, rear
drum.
Hi All!
My truck evidently had a caliper get stuck and it quickly wore down the
inner brake pad on one wheel. The master cylinder fluid was down to the
bottom of the reservoir, so I wondered if I might have gotten some...

fuel economy?
Included is a link to a product (a "combustion modifier of sorts") that

DOHC, SOHC, NOHC Performance benefits, or hype? by
phaeton
Seems that you hear a lot of buzz in the auto world about how many
overhead cams something has. I hear a *LOT* of the buying public, the
ones that I would essentially label as 'sheep' (no offense to them,
though), talking about overhead camshafts as a 'performance' feature.
These would be the same...

is $65/hr reasonable labor rate? (d) by

I called a local independent mechanic and asked him how much
labor he'd charge for working on the master brake cylinder and
he told me it'd be $65 an hour.
Is that a reasonable rate or is it too much? I don't really trust the
auto repair franchises like Midas even though there are about 3 of...

Creaky suspension by
B.B.
A couple of days ago my front left corner began to creak and squeak.
Quite a lot, actually. It's noisy both when bouncing the corner of the
car and when steering side-to-side, so I figure a ball joint of some
sort.
So, here's the question: is this merely noise, or is it (I'm afraid)
a symptom of a...
